Bookkeeping built for
Los Angeles businesses.

We're a US-based remote team that specializes in serving California businesses. Every team member is in the US, and your dedicated bookkeeper is available during Pacific business hours. We've handled bookkeeping for LA companies across entertainment, tech, real estate, restaurants, and professional services — we know the California-specific quirks national firms miss. If meeting in person matters to you, we can also arrange that.

Yes — every year, included with your engagement. We file your annual $800 minimum franchise tax, S-corp 1.5% on net income, LLC fee tiers based on gross receipts, and the Statement of Information every CA entity owes the Secretary of State. We track every deadline so you never get hit with an FTB suspension notice.

Yes. Loan-out corporations, residuals tracking, profit participation, royalty accounting, production overhead allocation, AB-5 contractor classification, animation and post-production COGS, and the contractor-vs-employee gray area that's eaten national firms alive. We've worked with indie producers, music labels, post houses, and full-service production companies.

CA base sales tax is 7.25%, but LA County stacks district taxes that take most jurisdictions to 9.5%–10.25% (Culver City, Inglewood, and several others run at the high end). We track nexus and remit through the CDTFA across LA, Orange, Ventura, and San Bernardino counties as needed. If you ship interstate — common for LA ecommerce and DTC brands — we handle multi-state economic nexus too.

Not at all. A lot of established LA service businesses, construction firms, and production companies still run QBD because it works. We work in it daily. We'll only recommend migrating to QuickBooks Online if it would genuinely serve you better (multi-user remote access, better integrations, etc.) — and if so, we handle the entire migration. No pressure either way.

Yes — small businesses are a big part of who we serve. Whether you're a solo founder finally getting your books in order, an owner-operator running a small shop, or a 1–10 employee business that's outgrown DIY QuickBooks, we're built for you. You get the same dedicated team, the same Portal, the same three-tier monthly close as our largest clients — scoped to where you actually are today. As you grow, we scale with you; we don't push you onto a different tier or hand you off mid-relationship.

Live in 14 days for most LA clients from the day you sign on. Onboarding takes about a week (connecting to your software, building your Portal, getting your team up to speed on your business). Catch-up work — if you need 6 or 12 months brought current — runs in parallel and finishes within 30–45 days for most cases. If you need it faster because of a lender, audit, or FTB deadline, tell us during the demo; we can usually accommodate.
